Migration State of Emergency

The Hungarian government has decided to declare a “migration state of emergency”, a legal option that had been made possible due to some badly criticized changes in Hungarian law during last autumn. Paralel to this, a national referendum is initiated by the government against the obligatory settlement of aliens to Hungary. The interview with Tamás Lattmann examines if the legal conditions of the introduction of this state of emergency are met, its possible legal consequences and the issue of national referenda.
